I'm trying to setup a nifi processor to run once daily, using the 'cron' option under scheduling.
Under "run schedule", I put "01 18 * * * ?" , which should be 6:01pm (I couldn't get nifi to accept it without the question mark).
But this causes the scheduler to run on the hour, every hour.
Can someone please help me with my syntax here?

The Cron you have there should run 18 minutes and 1 second into every hour.
What you really are looking for as a cron here for 6:01pm is ( 0 1 18 * * ? * or 0 1 18 * * ? )
The value for each of these fields should be a number, range, or
increment.
Range here refers to a syntax of <number>-<number>.
For example,the Seconds field could be set to 0-30, meaning that the
Processor should only be scheduled if the time is 0 to 30 seconds
after the minute. Additionally, a value of *
indicates that all values are valid for this field. Multiple values can also
be entered using a ,
as a separator: 0,5,10,15,30
.
An increment is written as <start value>/<increment>. For example, settings a value of 0/10
for the seconds fields means that valid
values are 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. However, if we change this to 5/10
, valid values become 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, and 55.
For the Month field, valid values are 1 (January) through 12 (December).
For the Day of Week field, valid values are 1 (Sunday) through 7 (Saturday). Additionally, a value of L
may be appended to one of these
values to indicate the last occurrence of this day in the month. For example, 1L
can be used to indicate the last Monday of the month.
Thanks,
Matt

NiFi does not use a linux cron. It uses a Quartz cron/scheduler.

When I enter "0 0 18 * * * ?", I get this error message: "Scheduling Period '0 0 18 * * * ?' is not a valid cron expression: '?' can only be specified for Day-of-Month or Day-of-Week"
However, "0 0 18 * * ? *" seems to work.
What is the difference between the meaning of "*" and "?" ?

There are seven fields; however, the seventh field is optional. So you are correct.
so both " 0 0 18 * * ? " and " 0 0 18 * * ? * " are valid.
The below is from http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.x/tutorials/crontrigger.html
----------------
-----------------
so only fields 4 and 6 will accept ?.

can you provide corn expression for this timing 12:00PM and 11:40AM

@hargav
It is not possible to create single Quartz cron that will schedule at 12:00:00 PM and 11:40:00 AM each day.
However, the following would execute at 11:40:00AM and 12:40:00PM every day
0 40 11,12 * * ?
and following would execute at 11:00:00AM, 11:40:00AM, 12:00:00PM, and 12:40:00PM
0 0,40 11,12 * * ?
or
0 0/40 11,12 * * ?
Hope this helps you,
Matt

Please send those expressions

NiFi processor scheduled every day at 11:40AM:
0 40 11 * * ? *
NiFi processor Scheduled every day at 12:00PM:
0 0 12 * * ? *
